Primary objectives of the project ‘Sustaining the Productivity of Tree Crops on Agricultural Land in South-Western Australia’ were to quantify the changes to the fertility of agricultural soils planted to eucalypts and to evaluate strategies to maintain soil fertility and sustain long-term plantation productivity.
The project team addressed the objectives using two approaches. The first evaluated changes to nutrient forms and fluxes in surface soils at paired pasture-plantation sites covering the area in which E. globulus has been planted in south-western Australia. The second approach examined the effects of inter-rotation site management treatments on soil nutrients in experiments at two sites.
Maintaining optimal water quality is essential for the success of sea cucumber aquaculture. Inadequate water quality can lead to decreased production of cultured species and...
Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has potential for significant growth in Australia due to its wide range of sustainable credentials and uses. The benefits associated...
Globally, there are more than 70 species of exploited sea cucumber mainly from the genera Holothuria, Actinopyga, Bohadschia, Stichopus and Thelenota. Well-dried A-grade product (bêche-de-mer)...
This project delivered an Australian stingless native bee hive assembly, known as the Hive Haven V10, which efficiently and effectively produces a range of native...
Australian native bees play an important and often undervalued role pollinating plants and crops, many of which can’t be pollinated by introduced species. Forecast increased...
AgriFutures Australia has recognised the potential for significant growth of the industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) sector due to its wide range of sustainable applications...
For Asparagopsis seaweed production to become viable onshore, there is a need to source high-quality, low-cost nutrients. Treated waste streams could provide nutrient-rich media suitable...
There is growing interest in how to optimise the cultivation conditions for Asparagopsis spp., which are crucial for its commercial production and economic viability. However,...
